Development of Iron and steel
Works.

A circular of the American Iron and
Steel Association shows the number and
capacity of American iron and steel
works built in 1886 and 1887. Seven
new blast furnaces have been completed
and blown in since January l, 1856. OF
these, two were In Alabama and
one each in New York, Pennsyl.
vania, Tennessee. Michigan and
Wisconsin. OF Bessemer and open
hearth steel works. the number is much
larger. Of this class of establishments
twenty-five have been completed since
January l, 1856. OF this Pennsylvania
shows the largest number, as fifteen of
the twenty two are in that State. Of
the remainder, three are in Ohio and
one each in New York, West Virginia,
the record of 1887, however, q better
idea is gained of the development in this
direction. During March, 1887, twenty
eight new blast furnaces were build
ing or contracted for. OF these,
II were in Alabama, in Pennsylvania,
4 in Ohio, each in Tennessee and Vir-
ginia, and | each in New York, Ken
lucky and Wisconsin. OF II new Bes-
semer and open. hearth steel works,
building or contracted for in March,
1887, were in Pennsylvania, 3 in
Illinois, 2 in Indiana and / each in
Massachusetts,. Ohio, Tennessee and
Virginia. After the 7 blast fur
naces built since January l, 1886,
3 were for coke and were for charcoal.
OF steel works completed since the same
period, 8 were open. hearth works, 7
were Bessemer and 6 Clapp Griffiths.
OF the % blast furnaces building or
contracted for in March, 1887, % will
use coke as fuel, will use charcoal
and will use anthracite and coke. Oi
the II steel works building or contracted
for, will use the Bessemer process, 6 will
use the open-hearth and 2 the Clapp.
Grittiths process. OF the % new blast
furnaces, 81 are to be completed in 1887
and 6 in 1888. One is to be completed
either in 1887 or 1888. OF the IL new

SOnOma olive OIL.

Col. George F. Hooper brought from
his Sonoma vineyard and fruit orchard
to Santa Rosa, on Monday morning,
samples of fine olive oil. made from the
olives grown upon his own grounds,
now in the tenth year of their growth,
from cuttings planted by Colonel Hooper
himself. He has four hands engaged
in making the oil, and will, have
bounteous product. The oil is clear,
of o rich quality, and made with
great care. 1t is the first ever made
we believe, in Sonoma. The the pro.
duotion of olives and their preparation
for market, and the making of pure oil
will become in few years one of the
valuable industries of Sonoma and
sources of great value is confidently be-
lieved, The trees grow in favorable
localities with every promise of hearth
ness, vigor and bounteous fruitage, and
after the six or seven years required for
bearing the crop is perennial and the life
OF the tree matter of centuries.--[E Elk.

ILwAco, w. T., May 25.-The fishery
feud has resulted in the killing OF one
man and the seriously wounding of an
other. In the streets of Ilwaco last
night, A. E. King, AL. Green, aud Archie
Ross, the owners of the traps, went out
to watch lot of fishing web which was
newly tarred and drying on fat mesa.
In the darkness they saw the dim out
line of two men, whom they ordered to
halt, and King, Ross and Green at
tempted to follow them. Suddenly
from sew eral directions, out of the
the darkness came the reports Of
many shots. King fell. being wounded
in the neck and wrist, and
Ross fell piercedSby six balls, and, lin
gering in great agony, died at 2 o'clock
this morning. Green escaped unburt.
This morning surgeon from Fort

The Uses of pare BRANDY

An announcement has recently been
made concerning French brandy by NJ.
Emile Alglave, before the French Asso-
citation for the Advancement of the
Sciences. 1t is stated that out of the
40, 900, 900 gallons of brandy annually
consumed in France, not more than $780,
900 gallons or l29 per cent, are distilled
from wine, the remainder being
extracted from rice, beet.root, maize or
molasses. According to NJ. Alglave.
pure brandy may intoxicate, but it does
not poison or madden, while brandy
concocted from the materials mentioned
does both. Iu the presence of the men,
bers of the association he gave practical
proofs of these facts. He took two
guinea pgs, to each of which he gave
O similar quantity of spirit. The
pig that drank the pure brandy
was tipsy and hilarious. while
the other one was dead drunk
and like a corpse. He next repeated the
experiment on two dogs. The pure
brandy dog became intoxicated, reeled
and staggered. The dog that was under
the influence of the impure brandy fell
into a fit of epilepsy, lay upon its back
with its legs in the air, foamed at the
mouth and showed every symptom of
delirium tremens. NJ. Alglave argued
that the distillation of all brandy other
than from wine should be prohibited,
and that every bottle of brandy sold
should have government stamp or
label on it, guaranteeing it's genuineness.
But with the present yield of the
French vineyards, there is insufficient
wine to make all the brandy required.
1t is here that California could come in
by exporting to France our pure
brandy, stamped as such with the pure
brandy stamp of this State. This is
suggestion worthy of consideration at
the hands of our wine-makers and wine
merchants, aud it certainly should be
possible at least to make definite in.
quiries as to the possibilities of the
French market for our pure products

The Theatre Comique I'm Flames.
Loss of Life.

PARIS, May 25.-The Opera Comique
took fire this evening, and the whole
building is now wrapped in flames. Sew
eral people have been injured. Fourteen
persons, who jumped from the windows,
are dead, and forty-three injured. Prob
ably many are crushed to death in the
gallery. At present, however, this is
uncertain.
WHEN 1T COMMENCED.
The fire broke out during the first
act of the opera of Mignon. One of the
wings caught fire from gas jet and
the entire stage was Immediately
enveloped in flames. The fire soon
spread to the whole house. Madame
Merghilier, Mms, Teoquim and Bernard
we're on the stage when the
fire broke out. All the actors rau
out in their stage costumes. The
audience got out easily, but the gas was
turned off before all of them left the
building. and it was feared that some
were left in the upper tiers. The roof
soon fell in. sending showers of sparks
as far as the place De La Bourse. With
the exception of Madame Seller, who
persisted, all the actors escaped, though
a number were seriously injured. Five
bodies were terribly burnt.
VAST FURNACE.
In fifteen minutes after the commence
ment of the fire the stage was vast

by climbing to the roof on the side of
the Rue Merivantie, where they were
rescued by the fire escapes.
TO REMAIN SEATED.
M. Jasquin inaplored the audience to
remain seated until the exit was opened,
which they did. If they had made a
rush for the doors the loss of life would
have been terrible. The police outside
were unable to restrain the crowd who
besieged the building inquiring for their
friends until military Gordon was
formed. One man, who wanted to res

forcing the crowd into the narrow
streets, where the crush was terrific. |
Figurante says there were $50 persons
on the stage when the fire broke out. |
She heard a glass breaking but told the |
others not to mind it.
THE FIREMEN.
The fremen showed the greatest
courage. Mn. Goblet Thibeaun, was
on the spot soon after the fire started
and remained there throughout with
the fire officials. The Military Club
rendered great assistance in the work of
resisting the crowding of the people
toward the building. Nineteen persons
are known to be dead, and many of
these supposed the flames to be
artifc fire from an apparatus
which had been placed in position
in readiness for the burning of a palace
in the second act. 1t rolled down from
its place near the roof and exploded
below. Women, half.clad and carrying
costumes, fed from the s tage screaming.
The supers and members of the chorus
were terrified; some of the latter fed
with nothing on them but tights. Sew

the audience showed great calmness
when the alarm was given.
